The whole process reminds me of when we were moving out of London towards the end of last year. Our vendor was moving to France and we were being held up in the chain by conveyancers of the folks who bought our flat.
The whole EFL process brings back memories of this - super stressful!

You've moved out of London, you didn't mention that!   Paperwork invariably takes longer than anyone tells you it will, add into the equation the notoriously slow EFL along with th time of year and its a recipe for delayed disaster! |

Don't apologise moving out of a city to the sticks is one of the best things we ever did as well! |

So far so good! But going from a tiny patch of patio to quite a large garden has taken some getting used to! I guess that's the enjoyment of learning about these things. Apologies for taking this off topic. |

Sorry to tell you Fruit machines are just basically a micro processor with set% of wins loses and jackpots and all other random results... But end of the day they return what ever % they are set too.
Sad but true. Bit like every lottery.
Its true, but they have to pay that % - I used to play them a lot and a cople of key signs I found were... When they were low on cash the lights would generally falsh more to draw people in to fill them up.. this would calm down as they cam toward a big payout - particularly if the machines were newer and could reset their % payout per day (more cash for the owner). You could often tell a machine was close to having to make a payout because gambling (particularly on High Low gables would always let you win... when it got to that keep gambling until it either paid the jackpot or you lost (losing would just mean that the machine had to let you win more on the next one - they are not using dumb logic). I also sat next to a woman on a plane once who worked for the one of the big online gambling Co's (I wont mention who) but we got talking about the free bets they use to draw you in to the casinos/slots... because you haven't paid for them, they can essentially rig the payout to make it easier for you to win a semi large payout £100 - £1000 - this makes you think winning is easy and therefore encourages you to load up your own cash at which point the rules revert back to minimum payout and you end up losing most of the time... You'll never beat online gambling or new gaming machines - you may get lucky but AI and advance logic means its more difficult impossible to spot signs that existed on earlier electronic machines |

Its funny, in the early 90's I was talking to the owner of the Chinese Experience about possibly setting up a Casino there - they loved Casinos and had friends who owned/ran them - I said the same thing you did - their philosophy was different - remove their money as quickly as possible - they'll either leave (therefore making room for someone else) or they'd go and draw out some more... keep them there longer simply recycles the Casinos cash and makes it more likely they'll walk away with a big win... Their saying was... Its a Casino not a Theme Park... |

To be fair i am not sure it's worth asking the EFL for updates anyway. Fairly sure they will not tell him before Clem etc by which time the trust will know |
